Role of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, and Inteleukin-6 in Predicting a Poor Outcome after a Stroke
Conclusions: In acute stroke patients, greater NT-proBNP and hsCRP serum concentrations are independently associated with greater clinical stroke severity. Elevated concentrations of IL-6 and hsCRP are associated with worse functional and cognitive outcomes at discharge, respectively.Neuroimmunomodulation

Uveitis increases the risk of stroke among patients with ankylosing spondylitis: A nationwide population-based longitudinal study
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is known to increase the risk of stroke. Among patients with AS, uveitis is the most common extra-articular manifestation. However, no previous investigations have discussed the association between uveitis and the risk for developing stroke in patients with AS. This retrospective cohort study aimed to explore the relationship between uveitis and the incidence of stroke in patients with AS by obtaining medical records from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2015, from the National Health Insurance Research Database, according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical M...

Cerebral-Cardiac Syndrome and Diabetes: Cardiac Damage After Ischemic Stroke in Diabetic State
Cerebral-cardiac syndrome (CCS) refers to cardiac dysfunction following varying brain injuries. Ischemic stroke is strongly evidenced to induce CCS characterizing as arrhythmia, myocardial damage, and heart failure. CCS is attributed to be the second leading cause of death in the post-stroke stage; however, the responsible mechanisms are obscure. Studies indicated the possible mechanisms including insular cortex injury, autonomic imbalance, catecholamine surge, immune response, and systemic inflammation. Of note, the characteristics of the stroke population reveal a common comorbidity with diabetes. The close and causative...

Atopic eczema and major cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based studies
There was a significant and increased relative risk of 1.15 for the association between increasing atopic eczema severity and angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, ischaemic stroke and cardiovascular death, demonstrating evidence of a dose response relationship.

Multiple Sclerosis and the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study
ConclusionsWe provided suggestive genetic evidence for the causal associations of MS with increased risk of CAD, MI, HF, AS, and AIS, which highlighted the significance of active monitoring and prevention of cardiovascular risk to combat cardiovascular comorbidities in MS patients.

Effectiveness of the influenza vaccine at reducing adverse events in patients with heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Influenza vaccination appears to reduce adverse cardiovascular events, although the certainty of the evidence is low or very low. Rigorous randomized controlled trial evidence is needed to further examine the protective effect of the influenza vaccine in heart failure patients.PMID:35562195 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.04.039

Kidney function and cardiovascular diseases: a large-scale observational and Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionOur study provides evidence for causal effects of CVDs on kidney function. However, the evidence to support the causal effects of kidney function on CVDs is currently insufficient. Further mechanistic studies are required to determine the causality.

Endothelial Function and Pathogenesis of Endothelial Dysfunction
Conclusion: The present review intends to clarify the mechanisms behind the development of endothelial dysfunction, and aims to show how widely proven is the correlation between endothelial dysfunction (assessed both by Endo-PAT and sphigmoCOR) and cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, coronary artery disease and heart failure. Moreover, the assessment of endothelial dysfunction may represent an integral adjuvant test to identify the predisposed patients at risk for future cardiovascular accidents, as we suggest.

Galectin-3 Is a Potential Mediator for Atherosclerosis.
Authors: Gao Z, Liu Z, Wang R, Zheng Y, Li H, Yang L Abstract Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory arterial disease forming the pathological basis of many cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. Numerous studies have implicated inflammation as a key player in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a 30 kDa β-galactose, highly conserved and widely distributed intracellularly and extracellularly. Gal-3 has been demonstrated in recent years to be a novel inflammatory factor participating in the process of intravascular ...

Predictive Value of Blood Interleukin-6 Level in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Increased blood level of interleukin-6may be independently associated with higher risk of MACE, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. Measurement of blood interleukin-6 level has potential to improve risk stratification of ACS. PMID: 32811241 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus face a high risk of cardiovascular disease: A systematic review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that SLE patients have a higher risk of developing CVD compared with the general or healthy population, and the risk of CVD in LN patients is significantly higher than that in SLE patients.PMID:33636561 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2021.107466
